The choice of gifts is one of the most enjoyable, but at the same time difficult and responsible tasks. In the selection process, a huge number of various factors should be taken into account: occasion, budget, personal wishes of the hero of the occasion, and much more. The task is complicated if you are planning to give a gift not to one, but to several people at once: for example, a married couple. How to choose such a gift? What to consider? What gift options are there? What can you do yourself? Can I give money? Look for answers to these and other questions in our material.
Homemade presents
Traditionally, in our society it has turned out that those gifts that are made by yourself are most valued. It is believed that such home-made things are filled with love and warmth, and also contain a piece of the soul and heart of the person who made this gift. Therefore, if you have creative abilities and creative thinking, then you should definitely think about making an original presentation with your own hands.
First of all, you need to decide on the general concept of the gift - it may be prompted by an occasion in connection with which you are going to present a present. For example, for the New Year, you can knit a hat or scarf, and on the occasion of the wedding anniversary - to make a family tree.
Such gifts can be made independently or in a company (for example, with your young child).
If you can sew or knit, then a great option may be any wardrobe items, from simple accessories (hat, mittens, socks or a scarf) to full-fledged items of clothing (for example, a sweater).You can create several completely identical things (for example, the same socks) or change the color: for the wife - pink, for the husband - blue. Such handmade gifts will be appreciated by any couple. In addition, you can make various toys (this option will be relevant for those couples who have already managed to get their own children).
Another option for a homemade gift is photo book. The basis is to take a regular photo album, with which you should tell the story of the creation and development of a couple’s relationship. Try to find the earliest photos of lovers - from their first date to their wedding day, from their first kiss to the birth of a baby. Such a memorable gift will be very valuable and will be passed on from generation to generation.
Tree of life - Another creative option for a handmade gift. If you know how to draw beautifully and are familiar with a couple (perhaps you are a relative of one of the spouses), then you can recreate the history of the family.
However, remember to create such a present, you will have to work hard: call and visit the oldest relatives, view family albums, and possibly find archival documents.
Original works, whether it's a poem or a song, are also suitable as a gift. Such presentations will be especially appropriate on the day of the anniversary. Feel free to perform your work at the festive table. However, remember that you should leave a copy with the hosts of the celebration: for example, write a poem on a postcard or present a CD with a song.
A family portrait is a home-made gift that can be created by a person related to the visual arts. If you consider yourself as such, then you can easily transfer the image of a married couple from a regular photograph to canvas. Put the portrait in a beautiful frame. Later, visiting your loved ones, you will notice how your present took pride of place on one of the walls of the house of lovers.
It doesn't matter which of the proposed options you choose. Remember that a homemade gift is valuable in itself, regardless of whether it is large or small.
Gift Ideas
If you want to present a souvenir to a married couple (usually it is customary to give such presents in the absence of a serious reason or if you do not know your spouses too closely), then you should pay attention to our rating of symbolic gifts.
Card
A postcard is an inexpensive but memorable gift. Make sure that you personally wrote warm and sincere congratulations, and did not purchase the factory standard version. Depending on the holiday, select the appropriate cover for the picture: snowflakes will be suitable for the New Year, and hearts will be appropriate for Valentine's Day.
Candle
Scented candles (as well as incense sticks) are souvenir gifts that will create coziness and warm atmosphere in any home. It is important to choose a fragrance that will suit the taste of a married couple. If you don’t know what specific odors steam prefers, then buy a neutral scent.
Also, before handing such a gift, make sure that none of the spouses suffers from any allergies or individual intolerance.
Cup
A mug (and in the case of a married couple 2 mugs or a set) is one of the most versatile gifts. Such a kitchen item will never be superfluous and will take its rightful place. Thus, you will present not only a simple and pleasant, but also insanely practical souvenir.
With enough time and money, you can apply photo printing to the mugs. Family photo will do.
Magnet
If you are an avid traveler and have traveled to many countries, then give the couple a fridge magnet that you brought from some exotic place.In addition, if you are sure that a married couple wants to visit any country, you can give an image of a popular landmark of this state (for example, the Eiffel Tower in Paris). For the New Year, you can give a symbol of the coming year.
A pen
If you want to please a business couple, you can give them quality pens, for example, Parker. You can add such a gift with new diaries.
Book of annals
The book of annals is a kind of diary of the family, which reflects the entire history of the relationship of the couple. The book of annals will be a pleasant and memorable gift. Such simple but sweet presentations will let the couple understand that you remember them.
Keep in mind that the main thing is not the gift itself, but the attention paid.
Impression Gifts
If you want to move away from the trend of material gifts, then a married couple should give a so-called gift-impression. Consider in more detail several popular options.
Certificate for a photo shoot
Such a gift will appeal to a couple who is on the verge of an important event: a wedding or the birth of a child. In addition, it is appropriate to present such a present for an anniversary or Valentine's Day. Almost all marital unions will appreciate such gifts.
Certificate in SPA for two
On the anniversary of a relationship or wedding, a couple can present a certificate in the spa. Together with the certificate give young people a free night at the hotel. Thus, you will arrange for them a real rest and relaxation. Make sure that the list of free SPA services includes massage, masks, peels and the like. If possible, provide the couple with several days of relaxation, the ideal option is a SPA weekend.
If the couple has already had children, make sure that they have someone to stay with.
Active entertainment
If a married couple close to you prefers to spend their leisure time actively, then they will like the certificate for a parachute jump, horseback riding or pair diving.
Inexpensive options
Sometimes the holidays come at the most inopportune time - when the budget is completely exhausted and there is absolutely no material opportunity to present an expensive and valuable gift. In such situations, you have to show all your creativity and come up with inexpensive, but at the same time interesting gifts.
Clock
If your budget allows, then present each spouse with a pair of watches. Otherwise, give the lovers a wall clock. Especially this option will be relevant if the young have just come together and are still equipping their life.
A more interesting and youthful option is the original alarm clock. It will become a kind of symbol of "adult" life and the need to go to work.
Album
As we already wrote above, a self-made photo book or photo album will be an ideal gift for a married couple. However, if you don’t have creative skills or don’t have enough time, the usual general album for photographs, which can be purchased at almost any photo studio, can become a more suitable present.
Such a present will remind the family that sometimes it is necessary to print out photographs and give them a material appearance, rather than storing all memorable moments in digital form.
The calendar
The new calendar will be appropriate as a present on New Year's Eve. Thus, you remind the couple that it is time to let go of the outgoing year and start living from scratch.
Useful gifts
Friends who have recently become a married couple, it will be appropriate to present a variety of gifts for home and life. Such presentations will be useful for the whole family. There are several popular options:
- household appliances (TV, vacuum cleaner, refrigerator);
- kitchen equipment (mixer, food processor, microwave);
- tableware;
- textile;
- linens.
If you want to give a gift to an older or older married couple, then a great option can be various devices for giving: it can be both necessary tools (for example, a shovel), and more symbolic presentations (for example, seedlings for flowers).
In the event that you are in a fairly close or family relationship with a married couple and know about all of their difficulties, then just money can be a useful gift. So, if a couple saves money for a loan or collects a vacation in an exotic country, try to make it easier for them and make your contribution.
In this case, you can also talk with other relatives and friends of lovers in order to jointly give the couple an impressive amount.
